The Exam path
To obtain a licence to act as a Football Agent, you must apply via the FIFA Agent Platform.
For those candidates who are not exempt from taking the FIFA football agent exam, the first step to obtain a licence to act as a Football Agent is to submit an application via the FIFA Agent Platform.
Certain eligibility requirements must be met. Check the FIFA Football Agent Regulations for further details.
If your application is successful, you will be invited to sit the FIFA Football Agent Exam.
The exam lasts 60 minutes and comprises twenty multiple choice questions designed to test your knowledge of FIFA regulations and the football transfer system. The pass mark is 75%. You will have to bring your own laptop and provide your own internet connection to take the exam.
Following discussions among the members of the FIFA Football Agent Working Group in June 2024, FIFA decided to reduce the period during which applications can be submitted (application period) to 45 days and to hold one exam edition per year as from 2025.
As result, please see below the relevant information regarding the exam:
Please note that FIFA will not be organising, and does not endorse, any preparatory courses for the Exam, and the FIFA Football Agent Exam Study Materials should be considered the only source for Candidates’ preparation.
